In a series of executive orders, Trump has significantly increased the role of the National Guard in addressing crime and immigration enforcement across the United States. This mobilization includes the deployment of up to 1,700 National Guard troops in 19 states, with specific support for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. States like Georgia have been highlighted for their involvement, with the governor announcing that the National Guard will assist ICE in immigration enforcement efforts. Critics have raised concerns about the implications of deploying armed National Guard units to urban areas amid ongoing civil unrest and crime reduction initiatives. Trump’s directives aim to create specialized units within the National Guard to tackle these issues, suggesting a more active role for federal troops in domestic law enforcement.
